“Have I Got News For You… US! I meant news for us!”
How yours truly read the title.

Like, to the next town over, or even further?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 months ago:
Mhm. That said, only a few places around where I live have “coin operated” carts. I guess the places that do have them got tired of the selfish, inconsiderate sobs who didn’t return the carts.
To me it feels so utterly strange to just dump a cart in the middle of a parking lot and, seemingly, think nothing of it.
- Comment on Anon uses a phone book 2 months ago:
I first bought a phone as soon as the first GSM networks opened, in Norway, in 1993. My first phone was a Pioneer PCC-D700 and, if memory serves, it cost 2995 NOK / ~300 EUR.
Before GSM became a thing, phones were crazy expensive, though. Almost as expensive as an iPhone, he.

I’ve seen that movie, and it was terrible.
How about Alien vs. Batman, or Predator vs. Jackie Chan.

Maybe, in the future, we’ll have rapid up/rapid down trees? With AI. Maybe they’ll get the ability to walk, too, so they can stand where they provide the most shade.
- Comment on Disc market share for week ending in 2024-06-29: "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" makes a chilling entrance at 1st place, having no need to act Ungentlemanly. 4 months ago:
Godzilla x Kong in second place is… puzzling. I couldn’t get through more than 10 minutes of that shit.

It makes up for it by having a brain shaped like a battleship gun battery.
- Comment on Radio Caroline, Britain's pirate radio station broadcasting from sea, turns 60 years strong 5 months ago:
They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.
- Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now 6 months ago:
On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.
- Comment on So which is it? 6 months ago:
Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.

- Comment on Why Heat Pumps Are the Future, and How Your Home Could Use One 7 months ago:
I was just reading an article on heat pumps in Norway; in 2004, only 4% of households had a heat pump. In 2023 that number had risen to over 40%, which probably equates to almost all homes that aren’t apartments.
Heat pumps have become very efficient, and as a bonus you get an airconditioner, too.

He, now his mom is telling everyone her son is addicted to crack cocaine.

UK harvesting the benefits of Brexit.
- Comment on Shopping at Target 1 year ago:
Me neither, nor do I ever think I’ve been to a shoe store that keeps boxes of shoes on the shelves like that. I’m used to display models; find something you like, then you ask an assistant what sizes you’d like to try on.
- Comment on Linear TV Falls Below 50% of Viewing for First Time 1 year ago:
2010, that was the year I returned my cable decoder to sender. Now I forget linear TV is still a thing, and it must’ve been a decade since I heard anyone utter the words “did you watch X on Y last night”, as well.
